11. That's a common concern these days

I suggest watching the two most recent WealthTrack interviews, they discuss the current situation pretty well. https://wealthtrack.com/

Their interviews are solid, but not often timely advice partly because they're taped a week in advance. (Odd how we still 'tape' interviews, but that's another matter.) I've fared so-so in bond funds prob because I don't use them much. But there are funds of various duration, and also bond funds of bond funds that have been steady if unspectacular. Such diversity is not volatile. I once got clobbered in emerging market bond fund.

International stock funds have held up better than domestic value/growth for me. So like you I'm tweaking around the edges. I like funds that are transparent about who manages them, their strategy, risk, and performance over time. Large cap, growth, medium risk are not details. Investing is not a chyron game.
